Contemporary radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the AGNs predicts presence hot and strong accretion disk wind, which gets unstable far from central region turns into gas clumps. These inner-wind outer clumps may be actually observed as ultrafast outflows (UFOs) clumpy absorbers, respectively. We call this picture "hot inner wind model". Observationally, it is challenging to place const...

A new plot for explaining the complex expression of the enzymic activity in reverse micelles has been developed as an extension of the theoretical model described by our group [Bru, Sánchez-Ferrer & García-Carmona (1990) Biochem. J. 268, 679-684]. The plot describes the changes in the relative volume, amount of enzyme (mumoles), enzyme concentration (microM) and substrate concentration (microM)...

Patients with liver cirrhosis have autonomic dysfunction and complex cardiovascular changes. Increases risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) was recently recognized in liver cirrhosis. This study analyzed risk predictors for SCD related to autonomic dysfunction in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC). Twenty five patients with ALC were examined and compared with healthy control group. Ca...

Earth Observing 1 (EO-1) Hyperion and Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) imagery were used to predict canopy nitrogen (N) concentration for mixed oak forests of Green Ridge State Forest in Maryland. Nitrogen concentration was estimated for 27 ground plots using leaf samples of the dominant tree species from each plot that were dried, ground and analyzed in the laboratory fo...

In this paper, we consider the effect of increasing the area of agricultural land under organic practises. We assumed that organic agriculture does not have effective means of pathogen control. We model pathogen dispersal with a diffusive logistic equation in which the growth/death rate is spatially heterogeneous. We find that if the ratio of the organic plots to conventional plots is below a c...

The effect of noise variations on two of the short period seismic discriminants, spectral ratio and log-likelihood ratio is studied. The mean square errors of two different estimators of these two discriminants are evaluated and some theoretical and experimental results for two seismic signals in seismic noise are presented. Accepted for the Air Force Joseph R. Waterman, Lt. Col., USAF Chief, L...

A new method is proposed for the calibration of the sunphotometer. Well-known difficulties of the usual Langley-plot method when applied to unsteady turbidity conditions can be avoided by monitoring the circumsolar radiation. To realize this idea, an alternate of the Langley-plot method is developed, in which the logarithm of the sunphotometer reading is plotted against the ratio of intensity o...
